Our Etiwanda students in the after-school program had an exciting and educational time exploring how rain clouds work! Through a hands-on experiment with shaving cream and colored water, they observed how ‘rain’ forms and falls, just like in real clouds. This engaging activity not only sparked their curiosity about weather patterns but also encouraged them to think like young scientists. It was a splash-tastic experience filled with discovery, learning, and fun!
Etiwanda families – studies show too much screen time can delay language development. Talk, read, and play instead! Every conversation counts.
